Small Garden in High Summer | Harvests, Replanting & Watering

Harvests continue to be abundant and there is plenty replanted for autumn. The dry, sunny weather means that watering is especially important this year. This small no dig garden measures just 25 square metres (270 square feet), yet it continues to provide abundant harvests through high summer. In this tour I show what we are picking now, including cucumbers, herbs and beetroot, together with new plantings of salads, chicories and endives for autumn harvests. This year has been exceptionally dry and sunny, so watering has become an important part of keeping crops productive. I share how I prioritise watering, succession plant between existing crops, and keep a small space producing food over many months.
